Thanks so much for writing this. I am now a woman in my 50s with a pretty good relationship with food. I was raised by a mother with an eating disorder and I have always tried my best to talk positively about food and bodies around my daughters. As a teenager I read diet books and I knew the calories to all foods - I can still quote them now!
My family were obsessed with diets and weightloss, I never felt good enough because I was never skinny.
Did ever have that feeling of gaining energy when being on a diet? That is the best thing to get out of dieting. It is No game whatsoever, always the same effect when you take in less.
Absolutely loved this and it really rings true - there’s not a woman I know who doesn’t have (or has had) issues with body image and food at some point in their life. It takes a life time of unlearning these messages that are fed (ha) to us since childhood.
That said, the stories of scandal from Dunston Slimming World are some of the best I’ve ever heard - Doreen snitching on Sheila going to KFC, Linda not being allowed to bring her homemade pies in 😂 🤦🏻♀️ pray for us all
